On the other hand, for people who have no debt but savings, raising rates is better. I say, let the ECB sleep.

want fries with that?

My advice is that if you have any doubts about your fill, don't just let it go. Open a trouble ticket with all your questions, and please keep us updated. I am doing 20-30 transactions on IDEALPRO daily, so anything "funky" concerns me greatly. btw, I've also been using Oanda for more than a...

Trouble ticket still under review. I submitted it on 17/Sep, that's 1 week ago...

If that's indeed the case, 105.88 to 106.95 is 1.01% difference, so your fill is >0.5% away from the market. You can ask for cancellation in IDEALPRO; not sure if this also applies to IDEAL. Also, from what I know, if you send a market order to IDEALPRO, it will "look" for the best price and...

you have no exit strategy

Please take these issues elsewhere, thanks.

Exactly. Stop-limits with a worst-case spread scenario. It is just that markets went off my worst-case a few times recently... Still surprised sometimes by how fat the tails can get.

I am trading off 30min bars or longer, so a few pips spread or slippage doesn't really hurt me. Also, I do use stop-limit orders most of the time, so usually I don't have such issues. It is just that I had a few gone unfilled recently due to the high volatility, so I wanted to be sure I will...

kiwi_trader, I've been trading for 7 years and I am familiar with all the things mentioned here. My stops were set earlier, before liquidity dried up. You have been defending IB unconditionally everywhere on this board, although in some cases people may have valid issues. Please note that I am...

OK are you a moron? I said: I am NOT asking for guaranteed price. Read.

You don't get it you two. I am NOT asking for any guaranteed price fills. I am asking for my stops to trigger in a timely manner. That seems to be the problem in the screenshot I sent. Can you explain what happened in times & sales? Above, I described in detail the problem. Read.

oops... It seems I hurt your ego. As I said, do me a favor...

Read my post first before you start typing. Did I say anything about FX futures? My stops are set to trigger on bid-ask, and the problem I described is real. Do me a favor and let someone else more knowledgeable reply.

Def, Please explain the following: According to Times & Sales (I attach a screenshot), my AUDUSD stop should have been triggered at 23:33:30 CET, when the offer went <= 0.7961 for the first time and the bid at that time was 0.7937. You also show bids of 0.7939 and 0.7945 right...

That's right. The "liquidity providers" are hunting stops. IB should protect the customers from this kind of fishy games, imo. Come on now... 51 pips slippage in AUD during a dead zone can only be one thing. Even Oanda had much better bids at the time.

Yesterday (16/Sep), on IDEALPRO: AUD/USD sell-stop at 0.7961, filled at 0.7910 at 23:33:33 CET, 51 pips slippage !!! (0.64%) NZD/USD sell-stop at 0.6559, filled at 0.6538 at 23:44:30 CET, 21 pips slippage !! (0.32%) I got stop-hunted and ripped off for good. Got filled at the...

hmm... you are a sucker, maybe? Don't try to figure out what the market is gonna do on news.

Scalpz, good to have you back mate (if you ever left) :D Priceless entertainment.
